Echt superleuk!! Virtual Reality tour op een prachtige boot. De VR bril sleept je mee in vroegere tijden. Wanneer je ‘m afzet ben je weer back in de realiteit vd Amsterdamse grachten/wateren. Je hebt echt niet de hele tijd de VR bril op. Ecbt superleuk en vernieuwend concept. Leuk voor elke leeftijd en ook voor jeugd. En het eerste drankje is incl. Echt must do! Ook voor echte Amsterdammers of als je al eens eerder een rondvaart hebt gemaakt. Dit is echt vernieuwend en entertainend. Ook te doen als het regent want de boot kan ook overdekt. Ik ga nog een keer!

This boat tour with a VR experience was truly something special and exclusive! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We also got a free drink; you can choose between soda, water, beer, or other beverages, which was a nice touch....... I can totally recommend this tour! It’s a must-do while in Amsterdam and absolutely worth it. A truly unique and memorable experience! Dear team of VR Voyage Amsterdam, thank you for existing!

This was simply amazing. I have lived in Amsterdam now for 6 years but still learned so much and really appreciated the context of 400 years ago!! The host was super kind and attentive, and the skipper very smooth. Thank you very much, I’ll be recommending!
